Sculpting cats and kittens is always interesting; these cute pets are well known to every child, so he can calmly create without being distracted by trying to find out how the animal looks or moves. At the same time, you can create not only realistic figures, but also characters from your favorite games, fairy tales or cartoons. A cat made of plasticine will be a good gift for a mother, grandmother or teacher to make the craft look prettier; it can be easily supplemented with beads, rhinestones or other decorations.

Basics of working with plasticine: how to get started
Before making a cat out of plasticine, you should prepare the material of the desired color; if such a block is not in the box, you can mix several different pieces.
The most convenient way to start sculpting any parts is by rolling balls, which are subsequently given the desired shape. To draw fingers or fur on a plasticine craft, it is better to prepare toothpicks in advance - the stack may be too thick for neat lines (it is also convenient to attach the figure’s head to them so that it holds more securely). Antennae can be easily made from pieces of wire or pine needles, and beads can be installed instead of eyes.
If you mix pieces of different colors (for example, orange, black and white), not completely, you will get the original three-color color of the animal.
Modeling in the preparatory group: how to make the lesson interesting
Ways to motivate children
Children’s own drawings can be used as visual materials.
This is interesting. Russian Soviet writer, classic of Russian literature K.G. Paustovsky wrote: “The impulse to creativity can fade away just as easily as it arose if it is left without food.”
How effective the entire lesson will be depends on the way in which the teacher insists that children work. Techniques for motivating children can be different - an adult combines them depending on the specific modeling task, the level of development of the children, their temperament and interests.
Conversation and visibility
These two ways to interest little creators go together because without a visual image it is difficult for children to imagine a picture, and without dialogue it is impossible to rationally organize work. So, as visual materials you can use
- pictures and photos of kids playing with pets;
- individual images (can be enlarged) of animals, in particular, faces, figures of a boy/girl;
- presentations, cartoons showing moving objects;
- posters, toys, etc.
The conversation can be built solely on the basis of what is seen (“Who is shown in the picture?”, “What is the animal/child in the photo doing/in what position is it standing?”), but you can also preface it with a few questions regarding what type of animal the cat belongs to/ dog, do the kids have pets, what kind, do they like to play, etc. Kids can answer either individually or in chorus. The main thing is to stay within the time frame - you shouldn’t spend more than 5-6 minutes on motivation.
Poems
Children love to listen to poetry, since the structure of their memory is such that they memorize rhymed lines faster and easier than adults.
- No, it was in vain that we decided to take the cat for a ride in the car: the cat was not used to riding - he overturned the truck.
- Paws and a tail, and funny ears that stick out in corners on the top of the head, fluffy fur, mischievous eyes... Listen, you didn’t come running to us from a fairy tale? Again the ball unwound around the apartment - There is no better entertainment in the world!
- My cunning-eyed puppy, Woolen paws... Who is it that chewed on our brand new slippers? I see the answer in the eyes: No, it’s not me, no, no! The slippers went into my mouth on their own and accidentally came apart...
Songs
This technique not only motivates the children, but can also be a good accompaniment for physical education or finger gymnastics.
| SONG ABOUT KISSANKA Lyrics: B. Bryansky Music: L. Lyadova Performed by Maria Lukach 1 Kisanka, Kisanka, Purring Kisanka, You and I are together all day. We chase the ball, we play hide-and-seek, and we play “Cat House.” We watch TV together, we eat cutlets, we drink milk together. 2 We will become adults, We will fly for the stars, I will take you with me. How you want to become a pilot as soon as possible, But no one talks about it! We need to prepare first - Maybe even a whole month will pass or two!..> |
Scheme for developing lesson notes
The teacher must definitely think about how to seat the children so that they do not interfere with each other
In order for a modeling lesson on creating a figure of a person playing with an animal to be successful, drawing up a work plan should begin with the formulation of goals and objectives.
Goals:
- teach how to compose a complex composition consisting of 2 objects in dynamics;
- continue to work on developing the ability to maintain proportions;
- cultivate patience and independence.
Tasks:
- repeat the basic geometric shapes - the basics of blanks for figures;
- develop the ability to convey the movement of objects using design;
- continue to practice sculpting techniques;
- consolidate the skill of conveying the dynamics of the human and animal body in plastic material;
- continue to develop the skill of working with a stack to create relief of elements;
- develop fine motor skills and eye;
- cultivate aesthetic taste and accuracy when working with plastic materials.
The development of notes should include clear timing of each stage of the lesson.
- The introductory part (5 minutes) is the time to involve children in work, that is, for motivation.
- The main stage (20 minutes) is sculpting a composition, as well as finger gymnastics and physical education.
- Final stage (5 minutes). The teacher praises the children’s productive work, the kids exhibit their compositions at an impromptu exhibition, evaluate their crafts and the crafts of their comrades, answering a number of questions (“Did I work well?”, “What did I do especially well?”, “What figures do I like?” more than others?”, “Why?”, “What did I like/dislike during the lesson?”).
Examples of writing lesson notes
The first example describes how to create a craft in a constructive way. If a human figurine is made with its help, then parts of the body can be moved and given the necessary pose. The main thing is to adhere all the parts well to each other.

Glukhova Vera “Summary of productive activities in the senior group. Modeling on the theme: “Kitten” (fragment)
| <...So we got to our modeling table. We have already sculpted a horse. Let's remember where to start sculpting (knead the plasticine and divide it into parts). What shape is the kitten's body? Head? Tail? (oval, elongated head, long tail." We will sculpt from a whole piece of plasticine. Dasha, tell us how we will sculpt (we need to roll out a thick sausage, cut it into a stack on both sides - these are the legs. Then we roll out the ball - draw out the muzzle and ears. We attach muzzle to the body and smear it well. The tail should be thin and long). Guys, so that our hands warm up before work, we will do finger exercises. Cunning, little Kitten (the ball is squeezed between the palms) Just got out of the diapers, (palms open) He did a lot of things: (close his palms) ate a fish from a raccoon, (circular movements between his palms) started a fight with a hamster, (squeeze the ball in his right hand) Only got scared of the dog. (squeeze in his left hand) An ill-mannered child (circular movements on the table with one hand ) This little Kitten. (circular movements on the table with the other hand) Let's start sculpting. The children sculpt, the teacher helps individually as needed. During the lesson, physical education is held: Here the window opened (arms to the sides) A cat came out onto the ledge (cat's smooth gait) Looked the cat went up (he threw his head up) The cat looked down, looked to the left, followed the flies with her gaze, stretched, smiled, and sat down on the ledge. Well done guys, you all coped with the task. The teacher calls 2-3 children for analysis...> |

Detailed and intricate animal figures
Ginger cat
The sign says that a ginger cat brings good luck to the owner.
To make a figure from plasticine, prepare a place and the necessary tools:
- orange plasticine;
- additional colors - yellow, green - for eyes, brown, white or any other colors - for decorations;
- match;
- stack - a plastic knife for work.
Modeling a cat from plasticine consists of the following steps:
- Take a brick of orange material for the body. You will need 3 times less white plasticine; parts are made from it.
- Roll an oval out of the red-colored mass and pull the workpiece out on one side. You will get a long neck. We insert a match into it to secure the cat's face. We slightly bend the shape to get a figurine of a sitting animal. We attach a small white spot on the cat’s chest - it will be like a tie for the cat. Using a special knife, we make small grooves that imitate animal fur.
- We form 2 orange tablets for the bent hind legs and secure them on both sides of the body. At the bottom we attach small white plasticine pads.
- We twist 2 orange tubes for the cat's front legs. We expand them at the ends.
- We make the head in the shape of a flattened diamond. We make triangular ears from 2 miniature orange tablets.
- We attach the front legs to the cat's body. They should be about the same level. We make a tail and attach it to the body. We glue a white plasticine mustache, cheeks and a pink nose to the head.
- We attach the ears to the head. We cut strips on the mustache with a stack. To get slanted cat eyes, we stick green pupils to oval shapes made of white material. We fix the eyes on the muzzle.
- We connect the head to the body with a match.
